From Henrietta Ashikodi, Umuahia

‎The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi has lauded

Dr. Alex Otti achievements in two years, describing two years of impactful leadership with a difference, adding that one doesn’t need to tune to the radio to know what the Governor is doing.

‎Mr. Peter Obi stated this while speaking during a ‎Special Anniversary Sabbath Service held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Aguiyi Ironsi Layout, Umuahia.

‎‎”We have come to celebrate two years with a difference. People have always said that they need eight years, they need ten years, they need twenty years. But, I’ve always said that one day can make a difference.

‎‎”Everybody is seeing it in Abia. You don’t need to tune to the radio. You don’t need people to tell you. There’s a difference. And that’s what we’re celebrating today”. Obi disclosed.

‎‎The presidential candidate called on Abians to continue to uphold the Government of Governor Alex Otti in prayers, while he urged Nigerians to pray that God touches the leaders as trustees to always use public funds to serve the people like Dr. Alex Otti is doing in Abia.

‎‎”It is difficult to govern Nigeria, especially when you want to do it right. Continue to remember the Governor and the Commissioners who are helping him in prayers. Do the same thing for Nigeria; ‎that God should touch all of us who are leaders. Touch our hearts to use public money for public good. It is not our money.

‎‎We are just trustees. Like it’s happening in Abia. We want it to happen everywhere in Nigeria.

‎‎”When I say to people, I’m not desperate to be a President, I’m desperate to see Nigeria work. We want future leaders like him (Governor Otti) to succeed”. Obi maintained.

‎‎Speaking at the church, Governor Alex Otti attributed all the modest achievements recorded by his administration within two years to God who has been inspiring and strengthening him.

‎‎He hinted that without the grace of God and his enablement, all his vision for the State would not have been made possible.

‎‎”I think, it’s 1 Corinthians 3, verse 6, I’m going up to verse 7, and it says, I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God gave the increase. I, in this case was Paul. Paul said he planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

‎‎”And verse 7 goes further to say, neither he who planted is anything, nor he who watered, but God who gave the increase. And that’s why we are here, because we know that, we all have worked hard, but then you could work hard and nothing would come out of it, if God doesn’t give you the increase and doesn’t back you up.

‎‎”So, because we recognize that everything we have done is of the Lord, so we return all the thanks to him,”Otti disclosed.
